Nevada’s 12–2 U.S. championship win over Ohio lasted five innings in the 2026 Little League World Series.
Nevada defeated Ohio 12–2 on August 29, 2026, to win the United States championship. The game was recorded as ending after five innings, with Nevada scoring 12 runs on 13 hits and Ohio scoring two runs on four hits.
Little League games can end early under the tournament’s run rule when one team has a sufficiently large lead after the required number of innings. That is why the U.S. championship did not continue through the usual seven-inning distance.
Nevada’s victory sent Paseo Verde Little League into the World Series final against Curaçao. Curaçao won that final 11–2 the following day, so Nevada finished as the 2026 runner-up.
